Welcome to Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science and the therapy world. 

You can actually improve your mating intelligence -- and your ability to meet, date, and have sex and relationships with partners you want. 

My guests tonight are evolutionary psychologists Dr. Glenn Geher and Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, discussing their book Mating Intelligence Unleashed: The Role of the Mind in Sex, Dating, and Love. It’s based on a vast body of research, and the book, like tonight’s show, will tell you, for example:

•What the research shows men and women really want (which is sometimes different from what they think they want). 

•How a "nice guy" can make himself more appealing to women.

•The physical traits of a guy who probably shouldn't waste his time trying to get casual sex. 

Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. PT, 10-11 p.m. ET, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.

Please support this show by buying my science-based and darkly funny book, Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence.
